PAINT-OIL.

surface without leaving any visible demarcation of the brush strokes where the compound is applied to the surface previously coated therewith; and when dry, to present a uniformly dull, flat finish not attainable by the use of turpentinejor other ordinary liquid vehicles. I The essential ingredients of my hnproved compound are turpsiiie, japan drier, and a petroleum oil; for instance, crude petroleum, or parailin oil or both. I

also 'find it preferable to add varnish to the mixture aforesaid if it is to be applied to wood, and in either easily a perfume such as citronella oil may be added, without apparent change in the characteristics of the coating. I i J A typical formula of my compound adapted for use on wood is as follows:

Turpsine 7,680 parts.

Japan drier 6O .Crude petroleum 4 2 Paraffin oil 2 Varnish 120 Citronella oil 1 oil, or vice versa in said formula. 'lurpsine is a proprietary article of commerce whicl at 25 C. is of approximately .78 specific gravity,

- I Application filed April 7,1906- Serial No. 810,434-

Patented Oct. 15;, 1907.

.Owing to the rapid drying oipaint, mixed with turpentine, two operators are required to apply such paint properly to the-walls of a room, both starting at the same place on the wall and working continuously in opposite directions, until they meet at the opposite side of the room, where thecdges oi the paint coating must be merged while wet; to avoid any visible lines of demarcation My improved compound is advantageous in that it is not readily absorbed by the Wall, and therefore, facilitates the free working of the paint, with which it is mixed, and permits its appli cationv by one operator who may readily blend the terminal edge of the paint coating with the initial edge thereof, without leaving any visible marks of the joined edges. Furthermore, by the use of my compound, the paint mixed therewith presents, when first applied, a smooth, glossy coating, which not only may be readily blended with a previously appliedcoating, but when dry, also presents a smooth, dull finish, which is uniform throughout its extent.v
